    Hi, Great content as always! I just started my FBA account after 20 years selling full-time on other platforms. One question about packing fba shipments... I have 120 similar smaller items in various colors. So if I have 30 items of each sku, am I allowed to separate the different colors into different baggies then putting in the same FBA box? each item has their own asin code but wasnt sure if this was allowed, but I feel throwing all 120 items loose in the box would be a nightmare for fba. Thanks! Dave

I think the GATED Categories are baby, beauty, grocery, health and toys. Am I missing anything if anyone out there can help? Thanks!

  • @pattyadelhelm7990
    @pattyadelhelm7990 Před 3 lety

    I watched an older video you made explaining shipping FBA, I need to check with you about poly bagging really large items that are not totally enclosed by the box and I can touch the actual Product. Actually, another question about that exact thing, when picking product type from the drop-down menu when preparing items for the shipment I don't know which option to pick when it's this type of product when you can touch the actual product??? There doesn't seem to be a good choice to pick from that describes this type of product, unless I'm not understanding all of what their descriptions for products mean but what is the correct type from the drop-down to use.
    Back to the initial question, you referred to using what I believe I remember being a clear plastic garbage bag??? not sure? I thought you cut off the top that had either tying handles or drawstring can't remember.
    Do the poly bags need to be 100% clear? I ordered some that said clear in the description from Amazon but they are not exactly clear you can see through them but it's very cloudy clear & I think I have to return them. So where do you get clear poly bags that are huge I also read for Amazon they have to be 1.5 ml thick.

    Your videos are so informative. I’ve been binge watching them. Since this video was done 10 months ago before the pandemic started. You stated that these boxes will get to the warehouse quickly and ready to sell. Since the pandemic started and Amazon is overwhelmed, do you notice your products take longer to arrive at the warehouse and be ready to sell? I ask because I sent my first shipment back in September from the supplier and Amazon is still doing the check in process. Is that normal? I’m wondering if I did something wrong. I can’t get any help from Amazon on this. I would appreciate any advise. Thank you.
